I am seeing a potential problem with the Ellis Island Records as my Mulderig cousins gave Kiltimagh as the last place of permanent residence. When I started this project, a new-found Mulderig cousin told me that his father was from Kiltimagh. In fact, the Mulderigs live in Altbaun, Bohola parish, about 4 miles from the middle of Kiltimagh. The problem is that the records for the Mulderigs are all held in Bohola parish. I would not have found them if I had followed that cousin's lead. The best lead was from a woman in Middlesex who responded to my letter to the editor of the Western People telling me to look in Bohola. Her mother-in-law was a Mulderig. My grandparents emigrated to St. Louis separately, she in 1881 and he in 1882, and married in 1883. For all I knew, they met in St. Louis. However, research brought me to the conclusion that they had grown up within the proverbial 5-mile courting circle. He was from Garryroe, Kiltimagh parish, two miles as the crow flies from Altbaun. Is any one looking for MULDERIG, CLARKE, GALLAGHER, FORDE in Bohola and Kiltimaagh? I have quite a collection of names and dates of births and marriages to share. Ellen
